It does give an incredible performance boost with few side effects. It is addictive, but less so than cigarettes.

I knew many college kids that would use it during hard times. One of my classmates would use it and not sleep for 1-2 weeks at a time while studying constantly. Not only does it keep you awake, but it increases focus and learning speed.

She felt fine but it is obviously knew it was bad for long-term use. I have seen people do incredible stuff on it and today they are very successful professionals.

Legalizing it for studying is debatable but IMO, it is about as dangerous as taking caffeine pills.

When I was in college, that same boost was sought by taking various types of prescription speed-often purchased from long-haul truckers who used the stuff, too. The people I know who did those drugs (who didn’t commit suicide by age 30) are seriously screwed up emotionally.
